Looking for
 
A small not to expensive trailer to put a 300 gallon fuel tank on to leave down at camp

If anyone has a lead please let me know

You gonna haul this trailer back and forth with 300 gallons of gasoline on the roads and highway? If so, watch out for cops. That is very illegal. Tried that once. You would not believe the DOT regs for hauling tanks of gasoline. Now diesel tanks have very few regs.

Fuel tank
 
Find a local fuel distributor and have them bring the fuel to your location, hell on pulling 300 gal on a utility trailer! Got a 250 and a 300 at the house, much easier!

Yea, I have a fuel guy lined up to come fuel my tank when he comes by once a week but I still have to get from camp to boat stalls

You could build your own from Harbor freight.

Not a good idea. Gas weighs a little over 6 lbs per gallon. 250 gallons is around 1,600 lbs and 300 gallons is around 2,000 lbs. I wouldn't trust an el cheapo trailer to haul gas with.

have you considered just using something like one of these?

sounds like a whole lot less hassle then a trailer even if you have to make a second trip to refill it.

This is a dumb idea!!!!! :eek:

How are you filling up now Dub? Pull ur boat out when u need to fill up? Carry gas cans? What do the rest of the guides do?

Yea go with the fuel tank/ toolbox combo.

Big Tex sells small ones that are good for fuel tanks. My dad just bought one for a 200 gallon tank he keeps in his hangar. 600 bucks with tax and license, and it's a good quality trailer. Also a good size for a 4-wheeler

Hauling 5gal gas cans sucks, done with that.. this will ride in back of my truck till I go buy a small trailer to leave a camp

noodle creek 04-23-2014 10:51 AM

Pumpelly's should give you a tank if you go over there, and if you fill up at bulk plant you can usually get gas for about 30 cents cheaper if you are buying 200-300 gals.

BayBolt23 04-23-2014 11:06 AM

Waltrip let me know if u need one a little bigger than that!
I have a brand new one that holds 330 gallon sitting at the shop right now!

I don't think those tote tanks are fuel rated.
